Many popular models of fractionalized spin liquids contain neutral fermionic spinon excitations on a Fermi surface, carrying unit charges under a compact U(1) gauge force. We argue that instanton effects generically render such states…
We examine the relation between the damping rate of a massless, chiral fermion that propagates in a medium, and the rate $\Gamma$ of approach to equilibrium. It is proven that these quantities are equal, by showing that they are given by…
